We must be one of a few species in the animal kingdom which do even while knowing they can be a bother sometimes, defending what stands in the way of easy street.

Some will say we do because there is inbuilt fear of unseen retribution further down the line if we don't. Others will say they are just hedging their bets on the premise of better lose and safe than win and sorry. Yet there are more who believe that they should abide by some ethical practices which may be cumbersome but deep within them they find worthily defensible, perhaps from remembering what their folks had taught them when they were small, in the same way people tend to value better goods which thus propels progress.

And these take encouragement from that simple example: the elephant which was saved by a man who after years died and must have cried tears of joy in his grave if one is given license to imagine - when the elephant broke free from his rope and walked miles to the man's grave.

And then bowed down on its knees before it.

If even elephants can display such a simple value as gratitude, man should be capable of more complicated values.

values are values, whatever the system. in this case, even more laudable for the elephant since no one could have expected it to do so. it crossed the chasm of animal and entered the value domain which man could identify.

Nobody denies that - we are equally important as living creatures in the universe, each should be entitled with rights to live. As an elephant, how do you reckon they should do in successfully crossing the chasm to communicate with us for claiming their living rights?

So-called game theory is utter nonsense. Only a wretch is without values. It is good to do what is right and often when it comes to humans doing what is right has zero to do with self interest. You wretch. You probably agree with crazy Sigmund Freuds so-called 'I'd nonsense right? You are out for all you can get aren't you. All you can get away with. Most humans ate not like that you know and that is what makes us human. Wretch. Talking about gid damn criminals in jails. That's where you god damn capitalist wretches belong.
